The Knockturnal was honored to sit at the feet of highly accomplished art activists and trailblazers. While listening front row on the importance of African-American art, and its impact on our planet, thanks to Martell’s revival of Loïs Mailou Jones’s work and philosophy, the rebirth of the Little Paris Group came to fruition! Aiming to produce mentorship in modern-day popular art, a meeting of the minds, and magic, took place on Wednesday, March 23, 2023, in Brooklyn, New York at the Bishop Gallery. Headlining this revival was none other than the eclectic, aristocratic singer, and actress, Janelle Monáe!
